Happy Friday The 13th!

I’m not generally superstitious, but today was HORRIBLE!
First off, I woke up late, so I was rushing around this morning. After rushing to get ready, I ran to the bus (and almost missed it). I arrived at school and went to spanish, it went fairly well, but I kept making stupid mistakes. On to notetaking, I realized I forgot my stuff for the class, and of course the day I forget it, we need it. Luckily, my friend Megan let me use her book and Mrs. Sisti (my teacher), didn’t freak out at the fact that I forgot my stuff.
Next I had lunch/Activity. I helped Megan make some Halloween Party invitations in MS Word and when I went to get a pen, it exploded. The ink was really sticky, and when soap was added, it turned purple and would NOT come out!
English followed and he decided to give us a pop-quiz on vocabulary words. Instead of it being normal “give the definition” style, it was write a sentence using it exactly as it is given. The words we had were…
Literal
Figurative
Denotate
Connotate
Potentate
I was able to get literal and figurative, but I completely drew a blank of Denotate, Connotate, and Potentate, and because there were only 5 words, each was 20%, always good to miss 60% on a quiz!
Finally it was time for art, so close to the end of the day! For about a week and a half I have been working on a charcoal still life. Today I was working on it and I messed it up. The shading was really bad and the teacher wasn’t too happy =\
When school was finally over, I rushed outside, caught the bus and came home. I then heated up my leftover rice and fell asleep and woke up at around 8 to say goodbye to my grandma and aunt - as they are going to Myrtle Beach.

I’m sorry you had such an awful day! I used to be late for the bus every day. My mother wanted to kill me, haha. Hope your fam has fun on vacation. I wish I was going to the beach! PS- I checked out your gallery & your dog gizmo is adorable!
